do with improvements in rod and pipe especially adapted for clamping Since pump rods are claims.

In the drawings, wherein I have illustrated a preferred form of my invention:

Figure 1 is a top plan view;

Figure 2 is a transverse section on the line 2-2 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a longitudinal 33 of Figure 1;

Figure 4 is a transverse section on the line -l4 of Figure 1;

Figure 5 is a top plan view of a form of my invention wherein the base is sectional and hinged;

Figure 6 is a 6'B of Figure 5;

Figure 7 is a transverse section on the line 1-1 of Figure 5.

In the drawings wherein like characters of reference are used to designate like or similar parts throughout the several views thereof:

The numeral I designates my elongated, substantially oval, relatively thick base member which is flanged as at 2 top and bottom along section on the line longitudinal section on the line enlarged at l5 and threaded at midway between the ends of the opening 3, and the ends of the body I. The body is flanged top fixed jaw in positon by means of a nut l0. At one end of the body is a handle II and spaced openings l2 are proas a vise or pipe clamp Leading from the end of the body to the end of the opening 3 having the movable jaw is a slot 13 to receive a screw M. The end of the body is Hi to receive the screw, which may have any suitable operating handles (not shown.) The movable jaw 8 has blocks i 1 with tongues position.
